Every “Top 8, Top 10 Blockchain companies” List article that I’ve read that intends to share information about the top blockchain projects to keep an eye out for almost always includes Bitcoin and Ether.

In this list, you wouldn’t find any of those “run of the mill ” recommendations.

In fact, we want to dive in and come up with a new, refreshing list every month!

Gamedex is your digital wallet, exchange, and game store, all in one. Gamedex runs on both desktops and smartphones. As such, users can collect digital cards and play exciting multiplayer games on Gamedex.
